Wow...just wow. But other countries have it rough too. In the last 50yrs I witnessed more than 2 power outages that took over 30mins, close to an hour to fix. We're not perfect either ๐Ÿ˜

I mean, I get it. A drunk guy has been stealing our Christmas ornaments one at a time off our front store window...

I had power out with a newborn for like 5 days in the winter once.. 30min sounds nice.

Oh man,that is horrible. Where did that newborn come from? Must've been aweful to have one for 5 days.

Power company was giving them away. It was weird they all had a musky smell to them.
